Let's SCRAP fly tipping! 

What is fly tipping? Fly tipping is the illegal dumping of waste. It can be any size from a single black bag to a truck load of rubbish. It’s important to understand what is classed as fly tipping so you don’t accidently put yourself at risk of a fine.

In particular, the LoveJunk marketplace is useful to help households find licenced waste carriers. This is important as individuals can be fined/prosecuted if their waste is fly tipped, even by somebody else.

A joint strategy has been launched across Essex to help tackle fly tipping, which cost Essex taxpayers approx. £1m in 2022-23 to clean up. Details on the new strategy can be found through the following link:
